Connect Material to a Work Task
Explanation
This activity is used to plan material lines that are required to perform the work
order. You can also adjust the planned material requirement at any time during
planning or when performing a work task. For each part, you can see how many
have already been issued, and how many are available in inventory. You can also
view information about each part from the inventory register in IFS/Inventory.
All of these alternatives are available through several right mouse button
options. If a work order is PM-generated, the entire material planning is copied
from the PM-action to the work task/s. If a work task is
generated from a maintenance order (in Fleet and Asset Management), all
the maintenance order material demands will be transferred to the work task.
If rental tool/equipment demands are entered on the
Work Task/Resources/Rental tab, then
corresponding material line will be created automatically for inventory-tracked
rental tool/equipment. The Rental check box will be selected for rental material lines.
When a Work Order is created from a CRO line, a new
maintenance material requisition will be created and connected to a default task. The component to be repaired
will be included as a part with the Repair Part check box selected.
You can connect materials to any site that belongs to the same company as the
work order (provided the user is connected to the site).
Prerequisites
- The inventory part must exist in IFS/Inventory.
- If the material is to be
connected to a job, the jobs must have been defined on the
Jobs and
Templates tab
prior to connecting the material to the work order.
System Effects
- The inventory part is linked to the work order.
- If demands have already being created in IFS
Distribution for the maintenance order material, the demand type will change from
Maintenance Order to Work Order. (Demand lines can be viewed in
the Inventory Part Availability Planning window.)
